pretty crappy swim time. However I do have to consider that this was the first open water swim since IMFL. I haven't been doing much pool work. Navigation was off in a straight line, have to work on that .

good course. was shooting for 12 min/mile. mile to mile felt good. walked water stops. ate and drank just right. chatted with people here and there. hit the 12 mile mark at around 2:30. hit port potty a couple times.

trying to find and hold a pace for IM
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

more practice and training. first tri of the season reveals the cobwebs, I think I could have bopped a 6:30 at least.

overall I was trying to find pacing for IM rather than racing. more of a training day and practice than a race. Kept a good positive mood overall.

Event comments:

overall great race.
